V. PUBLIC HEARING/INPUT
1. Joe George, 1926—72nd Street - Driveway
Mr. George appeared before the commission for an informal and non-binding review of his
request to widen his driveway. He discussed his desire to widen his driveway along the
side of his garage, however, the ordinances would not allow him to be within 5 feet of the
side lot line, making it the area he wished to expand too narrow for the storage of his boat.
Discussion ensued regarding why the ordinances do not allow paving within 5 feet of the

lot line, what the neighborhood would look like if everyone was allowed to pave within 5
feet, regulations on parking on grassed areas and the like. The commission gave Mr.
George their informal consensus that a variance would be unlikely, because it did not
appear that he would meet the requirements of practical difficulties. The commission also
did not seem to support further exploration of a change to the ordinance. No formal action
was taken.
VI. OLD BUSINESS
1. Review of Comments from Draft Comp Plan Open House
Mr. Maass, from WSB reviewed the outcome of the Draft Comp Plan Open House. Only
one member of the public was in attendance; Wendy Brilowski of 7124 Westview Street.
She had questions about restrictions on her property imposed by the zoning designation of
M-1. It was explained to her that there were only a few small restrictions, which would
inhibit her from expanding the footprint of her home by more than 33%. In large part, the
M-1 zoning adds flexibility to what she may do with her property.
2. Review Draft Implementation Plan (Chapter of Comp Plan)
Mr. Maass from WSB presented a summary of the draft Implementation Plan Chapter of
the Comprehensive Plan. The chapter lays out steps to be taken after the approval, by Met
Council, of the Comprehensive plan. Those steps include changes to official controls and
the zoning map. The Commission was asked for any comments on the plan. There were
none noted. No official action was taken, since the full draft of the Comp Plan would be
presented at the next meeting for an overall approval.
VII. NEW BUSINESS
1. Concept Plan—Fruth/Fischer Properties
The commission reviewed a concept plan, presented by Todd Christensen, for 36 homes on
the Fruth & Fischer properties adjacent to the north border of the city, along the east side
of Old Mill Road. The concept showed two cul-de-sacs, coming off Old Mill Road. A
second concept was shared with the commission, showing the southerly of the two cul-de-
sacs eliminated in favor of a through street, connecting into the temporary cul-de-sac on
Revoir Street. The commission favored the second concept with the through street and had
a generally favorable opinion of the proposal. There were some questions regarding two
lots shown in an isolated upland area on the east side of the development. The lots would
may require a PUD or other special zoning to be allowed and driveways and utilities would
also need some additional discussion. No official action was taken since this was only a
concept plan presentation.
